Islamic Cleric Apologises To Oluremi Tinubu Over Killing Comments

Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has countered the belief of many people who felt her husband is wealthy.

Naija News reports that the former Lagos Senator, on Thursday, during a town hall meeting with People Living With Disabilities in Abuja, revealed how she begged the wife of her husband’s running mate, Nana Shettima, for N2 million.

Oluremi claimed that her husband does not have the kind of money many people assume as she attributes his popularity to compassion and generosity.

According to her, many of the people supporting her husband for the 2023 presidential bid aren’t doing it for money but they believe he can give them hope in the current trying times in the country.

She said: “When they say he has the money of the world, I just wonder. Mrs Shettima knows that I begged her just to give me N2m yesterday.

“Asiwaju’s secret is not about money, contrary to what people think, he is a very compassionate man and very generous. There is nothing he can’t give.

“I remember after he finished as governor, we used to have this staff at home; if you needed anything, he would say go and meet so and so―that is who he is.

“The people you see in rallies are not after money. They believe someone can give them hope in these trying times.”
